In connection to purchasing more timber land for reserve at Pictou Landing, Mcleod had seemingly been out of loop of recent conversations, and he stated that he had not heard back about purchase of 10 acres of wooded land for the Fishers Grant Indians. He stated that he hoped the government would buy it as it was a small price to pay to bring the Indians comfort.
Note
"The Indians have been taking wood for fuel from neighbours- if they could keep themselves from freezing otherwise they would be stealing it, but God had given man the paramount right to live. The neighbours who suffer are repelling them from taking the wood, so violently that an Indian told me today that he was afraid they would be murdered."
